Kevin for Kiddos
Kevin Binnie is embarking on an epic coast-to-coast cycling journey across Canada to raise money and inspire young people to build strong and healthy habits.
Adventurer and endurance athlete Kevin Binnie is embarking on an epic coast-to-coast cycling journey across Canada, starting July 1st from Mile 0 in Victoria, British Columbia, and ending at Cape Spear, Newfoundland—the easternmost point in North America where explorer John Cabot landed in 1497.
Driven by a belief in the power of physical fitness to foster mental wellness, Kevin hopes the journey will inspire young people—especially those from underprivileged backgrounds—to build strong, healthy habits. All proceeds from Kevin’s ride will go to Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows Community Services to provide local kids with opportunities and equipment to engage in physical activities.
Honoring tradition, Kevin will begin by dipping the back tire of his bike into the Pacific Ocean, with plans to conclude by dipping the front tire into the Atlantic completing a powerful, symbolic journey spanning the nation.
The route follows the BC Trail, part of the Canada Trail network, across British Columbia. Through the prairies, the route continues along Highways 501 and 13 through southern Alberta, Saskatchewan, and into Manitoba. From there, the journey cuts south through Ontario and Quebec, continuing on through New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and ultimately Newfoundland.
“I’m doing this ride for all the kids out there who haven’t yet had the chance to fall in love with being active,” Kevin said. “If this journey can inspire even a few to get out and move, it will have been worth every mile.”
